We performed a comparison between Dell Unity XT and Tintri VMstore T7000 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is scalable."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Dell Unity XT is the GUI, it is very good. End users can manage using it. Additionally, the documentation is of high quality and it integrates well."
"It is nice the way ESRS works with remote support, being able to remote in and take a look at problems proactively."
"Compared to our old platform, everything is more tightly integrated. I don't have to go to different sections to do something. A lot of it is wizard-driven, so it's an easy to use system."
"The most valuable feature is the performance. It's still an all-flash array at a good price point."
"It has improved the utilization of our own internal resources and performance across our managed service platform, meeting our customers SLAs."
"The most valuable features include snapshots, Thin Clones, and deduplication and compression."
"Replication of the communication object (COB) scenarios"
"It can be simple to deploy, the standup time is quite quick. The interface is quite quick. The terms are simple, intuitive, it's similar what was there in the VNXE before it. It's very simple to navigate and administer from the console."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"It could always use native replication. Then I could get rid of RecoverPoint."
"I would like to have secure mobile connectivity going forward. This would help me be more proactive."
"There is no de-duplication. Unity used to be Bionics, which had de-duplication; however, in Dell Unity XT, the de-duplication was deprecated and is no longer available."
"In future releases, I would like to see automatic upgrades from one to the next, when this system is coming out and the next one is coming in; more akin to what Pure Storage is doing. That would be really helpful."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately one hour. However, the full process was not as simple as IBM."
"We did encounter a firmware bug which actually caused loss of data. There was some heartburn around that. But in general, it has operated as expected, except for that bug."
"It needs deduplication. We'd like to have the dedupe capabilities in the Unity."
"The interface can be a little challenging for someone new."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
